22 And when the .300. men blew with trumpets, the Lord set every mans sword upon his neighbour, and upon all the host. So the host fled unto Beth-Hasittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abel meolah unto Tabath. 23 Then the men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphthali, and out of Asher, and out of all the tribe of Manasseh, and pursued after Midian.

This counsel or act of God is no new or unaccustomed thing. For so did he when Jonathan with his armour bearer came unto the host of the Philistines, as we read in the first book of Samuel. And that is not unlike which in the second book of Paralip. the .xx, chap. is written, of the battle, which in the time of Jehoshaphat the king, was fought with the Moabites and Ammonites. For in those battles also the enemies of the Israelites wounded one another. And Goliath was by David slain with his own sword. And we also in these days have many times experience of the like benefits. For when our adversaries have decreed by violence and force utterly to oppress us, by a wonderful providence they have turned their force against themselves, and being letted by many slaughters and wars, they have ceased from their enterprises most cruel.
This counsell or act of God is no new or vnaccustomed thing. For so dyd he when Ionathas with his armour bearer came vnto the host of the Philistians, as we reade in the first booke of Samuel. And that is not vnlike whiche in the secōd booke of Paralip. the .xx, chap. is written, of the battaile, which in the time of Iehosaphat the king, was fought with the Moabites and Ammonites. For in those battailes also the enemies of the Israelites wounded one another. And Goliah was by Dauid slayne with his own swoord. And we also in these daies haue many times experience of the like benefites. For when our aduersaries haue decreed by violence and force vtterly to oppresse vs, by a wonderfull prouidence they haue turned their force against themselues, and being letted by manye slaughters and warres, they haue ceased from their enterprises most cruel.
